Ice Cream & Toast...

Sour cream ice cream,grilled brioche,blueberry thyme reduction and fresh thyme.Sour Cream i.c. has been stuck on my mind since having it for the first time a few weeks back.Blueberries cooked down with red wine,sugar, thyme and yuzu make for a floral sweet sauce enough to call this a dessert.Hot and cold textures stimulate a few of the senses.Several ideas have sparked since. Cornbread is next on the list which was the original thought.Flavor is definitely there.Very reminiscent of bagels and cream cheese...

Unagi Ribs?

Unagi in a different light resembling bbq ribs somewhat...Compressed asian pears,grapefruit,radish,basil and kabayaki.

Pork Shank

Pork Shank breaised and carmelized with viet flavors...Cherry tomatoes,watermelon & cucumbers all marinated in nam pla.Fried shallots and mint leaves.

Panna Cotta Part 2

Popcorn panna cotta version 2.Different mold,presentation,added compressed strawberries.May have took the base a little too far in the cooking process but needless to say,the flavors came out great and the combination works.Cutting the cord on this one for now.Enjoy!

BBQ Pork...Summer time is peeking around the corner

This is a play on a deconstructed pulled pork sandwich.Rootbeer glazed pork belly,torn thyme cornbread,bbq pearl onions,pickled brussels,bacon jam & bbq sauce.Gonna explore some other pickling partners and stuff...Cucumbers,watermelon rind,papaya?

Popcorn Panna Cotta

Popcorn infused panna cotta,carmel popcorn,fleur de sel,dark chocolate,caramel air.My first jab at the sweet world.Still trying to work a couple more components into the dish.Be back with an updated final version.

45 second chocolate sponge cake

Finally got to test out 45 second chocolate sponge cake introduced by Ferran Adria.Made a chocolate sponge cake batter and filled an ISI Whip about halfaway.Charged it twice. I think 3 charges would be ideal though for more of an aerated look. Cooked it in both a plastic cup and paper cup which i poked little holes in to help with the cooking. Sprayed it with pan spray.i found that plastic works best. 45 seconds in the microwave and instant sponge cake you have. Working on some components to pair it with.
